Chile rellenos have always been one of my favorite dishes. However, the traditional way of frying them has always been a hassle for me. The mess that comes with frying is something I dread, not to mention the guilt of consuming all that extra oil. This year, I set out to find a way to enjoy my beloved Chile Rellenos without any of these worries.
The filling of my chile rellenos was a delicious combination of veggies, low-fat cheese, and fluffy egg whites, which gave it a light and airy texture. I topped it with freshly chopped green onions and cilantro and served it with tasty red salsa, adding some zing to the dish.

Look for peppers that are dark green in color and have a smooth surface. You can check the stem to ensure it is fresh-looking and not dried out. Once you have your 8 fresh poblano peppers, you can prepare them for your recipe.

If you have leftover chile rellenos, you can quickly turn them into delicious burritos. Begin by heating the leftover chile rellenos in a microwave until warm. Next, take a large tortilla and place a chile relleno in the center. For extra flavor, you can add ingredients like refried beans, rice, shredded cheese, or fresh salsa. Wrap the tortilla tightly around the filling, folding it in the sides to secure it. Finally, grill the burrito on a skillet or pan until the outside is crispy and golden brown. Enjoy your delicious chile relleno burritos!
